Elgin Cleanup and Restoration

35 miles northwest of Chicago, along the Fox River Valley is the city of Elgin Illinois. The rich soil of the basin brought settlers from out east to settle this area. Early industry included milk, cheese and watch making. The educational system boasts many distinguished graduates including 5 navy admirals, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and many others. Elgin is also the 6th largest, and one of the fastest growing cities in the state. In addition to education and industry, Elgin has a children’s and adult symphony orchestra and a flourishing arts scene. 

Elgin has a well-developed Fire Department with over 100 years of history and with 7 different stations as well as a fire museum and Illinois' newest fire fighters’ memorial site. Elgin is a member of the Northeast division of MABAS, which is a cooperation among other fire protection districts which allow them to respond with the efficiency of a much larger firefighting unit.

Elgin has a long history and has buildings and homes that reflect that very storied past. Elgin has some of the oldest cobblestone homes in the Midwest. It also has some notable structures including the Elgin Tower Building and the Elgin Professional Building.

Having buildings with a wide range of ages requires a wide depth of knowledge on how to proceed when issues of water or fire damage are involved. Older structures may have lead paint or asbestos, which were materials that were readily used 50 plus years ago. Knowledge of the construction styles and techniques used to construct all these structures helps our responders be more efficient in how the work progresses.

Responders who handle emergency responses for water damage or fire damage gather information on every job that they can leverage on future events. Being one of the longest serving fire and water restoration companies in the area has allowed SERVPRO to develop a team of professionals who can tackle any size job on any structure and provide the building owners with a depth of support that they truly deserve.
